## Overview

The Klein Tools 69409 Line Splitter is a must-have accessory for professionals using clamp meters on North American 120V outlets. It isolates individual wires to prevent magnetic field cancellation, enabling precise current measurements up to 15 amps. Featuring a 10x multiplier for enhanced resolution and a compact, lightweight design, this splitter boosts accuracy and convenience for electricians and technicians alike.

## Description

The Klein Tools 69409 Line Splitter separates hot from neutral and ground wires on standard 120-Volt outlets so that current measurements can be made with a current clamp. Without the Line Splitter, the current clamp measures the load current going in both directions, effectively cancelling the measurement. The Line Splitter has a standard measurement section and ten-times multiplier section for use with less accurate or higher ranged clamp meters. It was designed for use with Klein Tools clamp meters but will also function with many other manufacturers' clamp meters.

Review: Works great and is compact - This item works great, and it’s compact to boot. Judging from instructions for clamp meters and accessory current clamps, many folks don’t seem to realize that one cannot measure current in a multiconductor flexible cord with a clamp meter, because the magnetic fields cancel. I’ve seen more than a few people—including a former boss—tripped up by this. What’s needed is a line splitter. Interestingly, none of my Fluke instructions suggest that as the solution. It’s possible to make your own splitter, as I did (picture 3). It works fine, but it’s a bit awkward to carry. It’s much easier—and less expensive—to use a commercial splitter. Commercial splitters are also more compact (pictures 1 and 4). The homemade splitter has one advantage, though: it’s made with #12 AWG wire, so it should safely handle 20 A. It’s also possible to do direct measurements using a multimeter’s current inputs, but connecting everything can be a chore. I have a device that connects directly to a meter’s current inputs (picture 2), simplifying the process. But it’s dicey when trying to measure more than 10 A on most meters without blowing a fuse. I also have an Extech splitter (https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B0000YHN9W), which also works well and offers a 1× reading as well as 10×. But the 1× loop is more a curiosity than anything else, and the extra loop makes it longer. I probably got it simply because previous splitters I had included 1× sections. There’s really no reason to not use the 10× multiplier, which effectively provides an extra digit of resolution—often a big deal when measuring small currents. The Extech splitter does include voltage test points, so it’s possible to measure voltage and current when the device is operating—sometimes useful if the device is drawing enough current to cause noticeable voltage drop. Measuring voltage and current simultaneously requires a second meter, but if the load is steady, the measurements can be made sequentially with a single meter. When making simultaneous measurements, keeping the voltage test leads in the test holes on the Extech splitter can be a bit of a pain. It’s much easier to use a Klein 69357 adapter (https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B0BN2LTKTB/) for the voltage measurement, as shown using a Fluke 323 clamp meter for the current and a Fluke 112 DMM for the voltage. So perhaps the lack of voltage test points isn’t really much of a disadvantage—and the splitter is more compact without them. A comparison of all of these methods using a Fluke 87 (with a Fluke i400 current clamp for the splitters) got results that were within about ±0.02 A actual current—more than close enough for government work. There are other splitters, like the Triplett ET200 (https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B07YT6LQBH) and FLIR TA55 (https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B00NMVR2DM) that will probably also do the job. I can only really comment on the Extech and Klein; I would recommend either one. At least one reviewer has suggested using a power meter (I have the P3 P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor, https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B00009MDBU). Though it’s more expensive than most line splitters, it’s very easy to use and doesn’t require a meter. I can’t imagine an electrician showing up with one, but for someone who only needs occasional measurements, this could be a good option—and it provides much additional information. I wouldn’t trust it like the Fluke meters, but the indicated values were mighty close to those given by the high-priced tools. Again, close enough for government work. I guess I also would recommend this. There are less-expensive similar devices that I have not tried. If you need to measure current in a plug-connected device, a line splitter is essential—don’t leave home without one.
Review: Great must use tool for clamp-on meter readings. - Works as advertised. The 10X feature does make you think when taking a reading to get proper scaling. But it is easy to use and accurate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: do they or anyone make one for 240 volt?**
A: Really no need for that. Most 240 volt electricity are ran through conduit up to the motor from the main box. So you just go the motor and place your amp clamp around the 120v or 240v wire(s) to get your amperage from each wire.

**Q: Will this work with a T6-1000, as in will it fit in between the fork to read the amps?**
A: Yes, it does according to this vid

https://youtu.be/B4ozjUO6uw4?t=182

**Q: would it work w/ a fluke t5600**
A: No, because the Fluke T5-600 has an "Open Jaw" style that is fixed at 1/2 inch which will not clear the line splitter, which is necessary to measure the flux density which is translated to amperage by the T5.

**Q: Does this unit have a CAT3 300V safety rating like the Southwire 60040S?**
A: The Klein Tools 69409 splitter appears to be exactly the same as the Southwire 60040S. I combed through every specification and bit of information I could find on both company's websites on these two products, and they seem identical - except for the Southwire claim about the "CAT3 300V safety rating". 

But I believe this is a bit of marketing nonsense... these are both designed for, and LIMITED TO, household 120V current in the United States. You can ONLY use a two or three-prong plug for 110V-120V A/C current, with no more than 15 amps. CAT2 ratings are for household current of 120V, while CAT3 ratings are for mains / bus bars / feeders / etc. at 240V. There is no way to use this device on anything but a standard 120V household outlet in the US.

Therefore, IMO,  the CAT3 300V rating is completely moot. Hope this helps.
